YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Damage Report host John Iadarola is joined by Francesca Fiorentini, host of Newsbroke on AJ+ and The Bitchuation Room podcast, to break down everything you might have missed over the weekend and all of today’s major news.
On Friday, Atlanta PD murdered Rayshard Brooks for no reason, shooting him in the back --TWICE. Trump has launched multiple attacks on the LGBTQ+ community amid Pride Month, but SCOTUS, with Neil Gorsuch at the forefront, has thwarted at least one of these assaults, ruling that of course you can’t fire people based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Covid-19 patients are receiving HUGE medical bills, with some amounting to over a $1 million. When it comes to police brutality, Trump says that “the concept of [a] chokehold sounds so innocent, so perfect.” Trump has legs and he knows how to use them.

"The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that existing federal law forbids job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender status, a major victory for advocates of gay rights and for the nascent transgender rights movement — and a surprising one from an increasingly conservative court.
By a vote of 6-3, the court said Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which makes it illegal for employers to discriminate because of a person's sex, among other factors, also covers sexual orientation and transgender status. It upheld rulings from lower courts that said sexual orientation discrimination was a form of sex discrimination.
Equally surprising was that the decision was written by President Donald Trump's first Supreme Court appointee, Neil Gorsuch, who was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's four more liberal members to form a majority."
